Frank and Tammy Irwin took a gamble on the cityâs Main Street business district when they opened their Timeless Antiques & Collectibles store, back in March of 2012, and it appears they picked a winner.

Not only have the Irwins done well gathering and selling area memory pieces, traditional antique offerings, jewelry and nic knacks, they are also a growing business and an example of what could be possible for many other small business owners in the city one-time âpremiere business district.

The couple just moved into the former Cakey shop at 91 Main Street and tripled the square-footage they had at their past shop at 30 Main Street.

âI love it, I can display more items and people traveling on Main Street see us better here,â Tammy said of the new store while holding an evening reception for the businessâ customers and friends last week.
